Interlibrary loan (ILL) provides current students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to obtain books, journal articles, and other resource materials that are not available through the library's collections. ILL allows the library to supplement its collections and enhance research opportunities.
Before submitting an ILL request, carefully check existing resources on the library website.
Notes:
Interlibrary loan offices are CLOSED evenings and weekends, as well as for College holidays. Requests are reviewed and processed only during regular business hours.
Processing and shipping times vary. Please allow 5 business days for your request to be processed. Books may take up to 10 business days after processing to arrive. Articles may take up to 5 business days after processing to arrive.
Same-day or next-day requests will be attempted but not guaranteed.

A comprehensive one-stop shop for academic support services on campus. The goal of the SSC is to increase retention by providing students with access to free tutoring in core courses, thereby fostering the independent, critical thinking skills they need to succeed in college and beyond. Located in the Norton Library, the SSC offers a range of academic assistance in the form of individual tutoring, study groups, and other support services for LCU’s student body. Students meet with peer tutors who have excelled in the course they tutor and who have been trained to facilitate discussion on course content. All of the programs and initiatives offered in the Center are free for LCU students.
The Writing Center is a free academic support service sponsored through the Humanities Division that allows students to work one-on-one with trained assistants on any aspect of their writing project. Most of our clients are students who are working on class assignments. We generally help students:
grasp the assignment and what it requires of them
understand how their own writing is and isn‘t working
learn strategies for writing tasks (how to brainstorm, organize, etc.
practice the art of revision in both re-seeing and rewriting
Off-Campus Login
When accessing licensed online resources from off-campus, you must verify that you are affiliated with the college. This is accomplished through authentication via EZproxy. Before you are passed through to the resource you wish to access, you will be directed to this screen:
The username and password are the same credentials you use to access the network on campus. Typically, the username follows the pattern firstname.lastname. For example: john.doe
Do not include the email suffix "@lcuniversity.edu."
Use the same password you use for logging onto the campus network.
Once you have authenticated, you have access to the same resources and functionalities as you would on campus.
If cannot log in or have forgotten your login information, email LCU IT at itdept@lcuniversity.edu from your LCU Student Email. The library does not have access to your campus login information.
